Land ReclamationThe natural resource extraction industry faces costly land reclamation challenges. Nearly 100,000 mines across the mountain west contaminate the headwaters of 40% of the west’s rivers. In Colorado alone, 1,300 miles of streams and rivers are impacted by toxic discharge associated with legacy mining.

We are actively building a patent portfolio around the use of biochar for heavily degraded land reclamation, and are involved in the deployment of several scaled reclamation trials in coordination with the USFS, private industry, and public partners.
